Once, there was just the Thermomix, and then suddenly there were a whole raft of thermal cooking options on the market with varying features and of course prices. Here, I’ll talk you through the features of the Optimum ThermoCook, another thermal cooker option sitting in between the Bellini and the Thermomix in price. What Functions…
